So good, it should have been in the script...that fact is also what kept it OUT of the script. Irony much?

I just watched that last night - this morning my flat mate asked me why I kept laughing last night.

Now, now... Jar Jar is the only character in TPM that actually has an arc.

Jar Jar matures a bit (...a bit) and his situation changes. Meanwhile, Anakin doesn't show up till the halfway point and, after the podrace, just pushes random buttons while hiding behind continuity armor.

Eh... I see where you're getting at, and comparatively Jar Jar changes maybe a tiny bit, but I wouldn't really call that a character arc.

Still think they should have had the clone wars start in EP 1 >_>

Well... "from a certain point of view..."

Of course, given they use that as an excuse to plaster over every ultra-thin coincidence that later gets developed into a full-blown plot... <_<

...wow, then they would be really long. It could work (especially as it was supposed to be the biggest war in history, which would generally be more than the four/two years given by Lucas) though I would have hints to the start of the war. Maybe get it started properly right at the end.

Pretty sure the Great Galactic War and New Sith Wars dwarf... everything. Or the Hundred Years' Darkness.

The Vong War never happened. Even counting it, though, I'd say the worst conflict in Star Wars would be the Mandalorian Wars. And based on the rest of the EU, the Clone Wars should have been the Mandalorian Wars on steroids.

Eh, Grievous supposedly burned a bunch of majorly-populated planets that we never heard of nor saw to the ground. So, civilian deaths were high.

Then TCW came out and said everything was small-unit actions and civilian casualties were limited to what can fit in frame and be managed by a single mustache-twirling villain per instance. No mass incineration of billions; just drop twenty or so colonists into a volcano. Shoot a couple Twi'leks to show how eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil you are.

I was more evil with my good guy Imperial in SWVII than everyone in TCW.

Especially if you run out of grenades on Feros... like I did on my first playthrough.

My only casualty in my first playthrough was the mean soldier lady--I didn't grieve much.

...I do have a habit of making sure she finds a few bullets. <_<

How the hell did you manage that one?

I tried using the grenades on the creepers... and I missed a couple throws, too. :p

Bah. The most frustrating "no-collateral" mission is the one with the high scientists running around.

Augh. That one. And the worst part is that it's bugged, so you get the news story in ME2 that Sirta's likely going to fail in a couple years. That was probably supposed to be something that crops up in 3, but the bug made them scrap it. Actually, for that matter, lots of bugs in ME1 screw up potential shifts for 2 and 3... <_<

Instead of just fixing the bugs...makes perfect sense >_>

EDIT: Zaarin posted while I was making mine

Considering players can fix the ME2 Conrad Verner bug with a single button, it really is baffling that EA never bothered.

Bethesda adds new bugs while fixing old ones; EA just doesn't fix them in the first place.

They released patches for ME2--it would have taken them less than 0.2 seconds to fix the Verner bug!
